Reported a problem with a faulty boot. Sent photos and a emailed explanation on Brantano site. Within 24 hours refund issued, no quibbles. A rarity today to receive such good customer service.

Paid over £100 for boots that didn't arrive! Yet they took off the payment, didn't give me a confirmation of purchase email, nor did I get the boots...!?

Update: I eventually got what I ordered, but the experience still wasn't great! It was on me for not placing my email correctly, still the website needs an email confirmation plugin!?

Great item, speedy delivery

I was a little sceptical when reading the reviews but decided to take the risk as they had exactly what I needed.

Item is exactly as described, great price and arrived super quick. Really pleased with the purchase or my off road trainers.

Horrible and rude customer service

Horrible and rude customer service. Parcelforce lost the parcel and after a month and multiple phone calls they claim it is now sent back to the sender.

The sender refuses to acknowledge and continually repeats the tracking which I can also see but is incorrect claiming they attempted to deliver which they didn't - we have cameras all around our property and delivery attempts have not been made.

A good business vs. bad business is established when something goes wrong. As the seller, these guys can claim compensation through Parcelforce which I can't but they refuse to take any responsibility.

Would have been a customer for years and I ordered shoes for my kids and wife but never again am I dealing with this amateur business.

Brantano - good price and speedy dispatch.

Brantano were very quick to provide an invoice and dispatch the item (skechers trainers) to me. The item arrived promptly, was the correct size and in perfect condition. The price was very competitive too.
Nice job.

Great first-time customer experience

Excellent first-time customer experience buying a pair of Skechers slip-in trainersfrom Brantano's online site and the best ever price I have seen for this particular brand and style - and its a style in Skechers current stock, not an old or discontinued line. My order arrived promptly and well packaged. Would definitely order ftom this company again based on my initial consumer experience using them.

Avoid this store at all costs

Avoid this store at all costs. I’ve never encountered such poor service from an online retailer. They consistently fail at the basics:
• I received a damaged item
• It takes them up to 72 hours to respond to emails, leaving you in limbo with no resolution
• They offered just a £5 discount (item value £115), so I chose to return the product
• Calling their customer service gets you nowhere. They refuse to help and insist only the person handling your original email can process your case. This policy is baffling and incredibly inefficient

I would strongly recommend shopping elsewhere.

Scammers

On placing the order in error I immediately sent an email to ask to cancel and it was ignored. I received a receipt for the purchase and then a thank you for signing up with us! I had not signed up with them and then on receiving my email they said too late to cancel.
I shall never buy from this company again especially as the same shoes are on Amazon for much less than I paid. What a rip off.

Reply from Brantano UK

Hi Jane sorry you did not have a good experience shopping with us. Orders are processed very quickly — which means once they’ve been dispatched, we’re no longer able to make changes.
If any changes are needed, we recommend calling us as soon as possible after placing your order, as this gives us the best chance to intercept and adjust it in time. We do state this on the website.

Excellent value

Recently rediscovered Brantano since they went to online only and I was not disappointed. Excellent value and found exactly what I was looking for at a bargain price. There was a small issue with the delivery address but I got in touch with the courier who got my items to me at the 2nd attempt. Packaging was some of the best I’ve seen. Will certainly use again in future.
